Breakfast can give us the energy we need to face the day, as well as some of the vitamins and minerals we need for good health.

Research shows that eating breakfast can actually help in controlling your weight.

So why not go for a bowl of wholegrain cereal with some sliced banana and a glass of fruit juice for a healthy start to the day?

Or you could try some porridge oats. They are cheap and contain lots of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Make your porridge with semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, or water.

If you add salt to your porridge, try to get out of the habit. you could add a few dried apricots, chunks of apple or some berries for some extra flavour.
